THE SUN, SUNDAY, OCTOBEF! ;J3, 1912.
TS
WITH MM ON KNOLL
Continued from First Papc.
Including him eighteen Hoatonlans went
out In Hiiccenslon without ever KCttln
near first base. Wonderful pitching,
but what proftteth n man to pitch
wonderfully and with unflinching
courage If hla fellow can't make hs
many runs as the other aide. Not thnt
the GlantH didn't try. There wa no
lack of endeavor on their part. They
gritted their teeth nnd kept a Htlff upper
Hp to the end. There wan no slacken
ing of effort, no drooping, hut the
coring ability wasn't In them,
It la a tremendous advantage which
this meltlmj pot Uonton team now ha,
three games to one. The Individuals who
have been gathered from the emfs of
the United States, from California 10
Maine, and paused through the Huston
crucible Into n smooth nnd machine-like
whole, played smooth and muchlne-llke
bull this afternoon. ThMr tlehllng was
not brilliant, but even nnd reliable.
New York's was Just us good except for
Doyle's slip. There weren't as miny
chances for star plays ns In tlto other
games, hut of the Individual fielding
licrzog's guardianship of third base was
the best display. It was a well played
game In a dull atmospherical setting
nnd on a field smooth enough, hut some
what deadened and slowed by the damp
ness. Klve hits were Boston's Invoice; four
New York's It was a pitchers' battle,
with Hedlent excelling Matty, but for
all that with the old timer's Justre un
dimmed. While being forced to knuckle
under to a team strong, more because
of even distribution of strength, of will
and mental nnd physical poise and pt
ndeptness In straightaway ball rather
than because of skill in the line points,
originality or smart tactics, the Giant
went ballooning too much off Hedlent's
pitching to make much headway. Their
penchant was for fly halls. Sixteen of
them were retired on flies, the Hoston
salst column showing a total of only
tlx.
There was a sawdust heap at the box,
but In the first Inning recourse to It
didn't enable Hedlent to get a secure
grip on the ball and he passed Devore.
He pitched four straight halls to the
patient Josh nnd things looked pleasing
for the Giants. .losh, however, never
could releuse himself from (Irst base.
A foul from Doyle's bat drifted out Into
the murk and Lewis roped It In. Snod
grass, a steady target for ble.icher hoots
because of a bit of foolishness In prac
tice, tapped a grounder to Wagner, and
the Bostons, without hurrying In the
least, touched off n three man double
play, the first of the scries.
Although two hits were made off
Matty In the first inning, he gave an i
cellent exhibition of pitching under
difficulties nnd kept the Bed Sox from
the plate. Hooper hit the first ball nnd
curved It to centre. Yerkes gave a high
fly to Fletcher, l"it Speaker, who uses
his hat like a fl. '. turned in a single
to left after Matty had had him In th
hole. Hooper uent to second on the hit.
elng held there by Dcvore's nulck
elding. At that a team with a little
lore Initiative and daring would have
-ound fault with one of Its members
who, under similar circumstances, didn't
try for third. Lewis's hot shot along
the third base line was well handled by
Herzog, who stepped on third for a
force, hut lost a double pl.iy by throwing
low to first. Gardner struck out.
When Murray was passed to begin
the second It looked as If Hedlent was -n
for a wild day, but such belief proved a
delusion and a snare. Murray reached
second on Merkle's out via Gardner and
Stahl. but the fly ball trust got Imsv.
Herzog flled to Yerkes, Meyers filed in
Lewis. Wagner Inserted a Miff punch
In the second after Fletcher had taken
care of Stahl's soggy roller. Wacner was
left. .Matty threw out f'ady. Doi,
made a rattllnc stop and threw out He
dlent. Fletcher's fly In the third soared
Into the hazy heights and drnppd 'n
Hnoper's maw. Matty, rheered loudly
by friend and foe when he came to h.v.
responded with a clean hit to centre air!
nearly everybody was glad. Dvnr.'
walked again and the Giants had two
on bases with one out. Anything doing?
Echo answers no. The soothing proeei.
to which Bedlent has ben subjected by
his mates after passing Devor had 't
effect and Doyle and Snodgrass had to
hit. Doyle flled to Sneaker and Snod-
grass elevated a foul to Cady.
Between the regular field stand and
the temporary left field bleachers Is n
narrow alley, a mean trap for a fair hit
ball to be driven Into, and Hooper, flrt
up In the third, lashed a ferocious drive.
The ball sang past Herzog and cut short
that player's chatter ns he lunged for
the missile. It went on and Into the
aforementioned cul de sac, and by the
time Devore could get hold of It Hooper
was nearlng third. Yerkes clubbed the
hall even harder. He sent a liner over
Fletcher's head, past Snodgrass to the
fence, another three bagger. Hooper
crossed with the first run.
Speaker pushed a grounder toward
Doyle and Yerkes made no nttempt to
core until the ball went past Doyle and
on to right. Then he Jogged home. He
would have been held at third and
Speaker have been out but for Doyle'a
hobble. Lewis made a weak stah to til
infield after Speaker, running with poor
Judgment and trying for second mi the
error, had been tossed out at that Junc
tion by Murray. Mathewson fielded
Lewis's tap to first and may or may not
have been able to get Yerkes nt th
pitta had the latter still been on third.
It would have been an even chance be
tween Yerkes and the ball. Gardner'H
grounder to Merkle ended the Ir.nlng.
Murray took a prod at the first pitch
In the fourth Inning and prodded a lly
to Yerkes. Merkle stood like n grnven
Image and was called out on strikes,
Herzog had the fly habit and popped to
Stahl. The Bostons In the fourth went
their way Just ns quickly, Stahl's
grounder to Herzog, n wan effort, Wng
rtr'a strike out and Cady's fly to Snod
grass mowed down the Bed Sox,
Chief Meyers nicked six fouls In th
fifth and then pummelled a single to
centre. The Chief still was on first
when the Inning ended. He held tho
corner while Fletcher lifted a lly to
Hooper, was still anchored there after
Mathewson struck out and was strain
ing at the leash at the same old post
yhen Devore furnished Hooper with n
fly ball chance which was greedily ac
cepted. The threo Hoston batters In the
second half of the fifth nil were retired
at first base. Ah n matter of fact, be.
ginning with Hedlent In that Inning
and going through the next two Innings,
nine Boston citizens In succession wero
retired at first. The putouts came thick
and fast to Merkle. Bedlent atnnte tho
ball on the nose In the fifth nnd lined
It to Merkle. Hooper wns heaved out
by Doyle and a victorious smash hy
Y.rke. was cleverly snared by Fletcher.
A ground ball whlcl Doyle drove to
Yerkes In the sixth wns nicely handled
by that cog In the Huh works, n cog
who entered tho series with no trum
peting from the housetops, but who has
been a sterling performer, Snodgrass
nnd Murray teamed tip In n brother act.
Both hit flies to Gardner, film which
were of elevation nnd mildness.
It wns two nnd none on' Speaker In
the sixth when Matty dealt him what
he wanted, nnd he hit smartly to Doyle.
Larry threw him out. Lewis baunced
to the Infield, which was ns far np he
could send the ball the livelong day,
nnd Herzn-: wns on top of the hit In
no time. Without straightening up he
ferried the ball over to Merkle. Gard
ner grosied to Merkle and wns the third
ground ball victim of the Inning.
Matty wns going through the Bed Sox
like a reaper through whent. It
wan In the seventh Inning thnt the
(Hants for n time saw the light. All
Boston was In Jubllnnt mood and en
gaged In a whistling chorus when the
Inning begnn. Their lips stopped In a
sudden pucker when Merkle clipped off
n dirigible which travelled so far nfleld
that It went Into the left field seats on
the fly. It was the first healthy lilt
' hy the Giants since the fifth Inning,
nnd such Gothnmltes as were lost In
the Boston shuffle In the stands asserted
their prerogative nnd shouted: "Wel
come, little stranger!"
With this unexpected development
Hedlent liernme ntllt atnwer In his work.
' The moments flitted by ns he posed
1 behind the rubber, but when he re
turned from his vacation nnd reap
peared In Boston he was so refreshed
that he extracted n pop fly from Her
zog. Meyers hit the ball vengefully, a
long lift far out to Speaker, on which
Merkle ran to third. He had to hustle
to bent Speaker's throw. That dash of
f ll!ltllfc. llnl H'...n ..I.I
I Merkle's was necessary for New York's
I only run.
McC'onnlck made n hit, nn unques-
t tlonnble hit, but one th,it wouldn't have
brought Merkle in from f-econd. It was
a sharp, grating bounder which Gard
ner could only Intercept. Merkle tal
lied while Gardner was grabbing at the
' ball. Shnfer went to first to run for
McC'onnlck nnd wns nearly caught nap
ping by Hedlent. Matty put his might
behind a swing and rammed a hard oiv
to Gardner. Gardner liandled It cleanly
and nailed Matty at Hist.
Mathewson worked Stahl on fad
nwnys In the Hoston half of the seventh
and finally threw him out. Fletcher
blotted out Wagner and Herzog's throw
turned Cady back. With Devore at hat
In the eighth Stahl made a kick when
VLoughlln called a ball on Devore. He
' argued that Josh swung at the pitch.
The next pitch was n hud one, but was
called a strike by O'Loughlln and De-
vore thumped the plate with his bat.
Then he struck out. Doyle struck at
the first pitch and promptly hit to
Stahl. Snodgrass chese the strikeout
method as the easiest death to die.
In their half of the eighth the Bos
tons varied the manner of their re-

a simple and easy affair. Yerkes threw

that nn Thutday here, he went down
to the front of th grand stand near th

old friend McOraw. Attel told hla story
this way:
"I leaned over the edge of the stand
and called, 'Oh. Mae, come here, I want
to see jou" I repeated these word;, but
McGraw apparently did not hear me. Then
I calM a smill hoy and asked hlni to

The usual Interview with the National
Commission, which was obtained befnra
Messrs. Johnson, Herrmann and Lynch
hurried Into the buffet car, developed In
creased confidence on the part of John
son. He said:
"To-day's victory should have been
the clincher. Tho Hed Sox should havo
won Wednesday's game here which
Duffy Lewis's muff lost. Devore's
wonderful catch Thursday undoubtedly
saved the Giants. To-day's performance
convinces me that the Red Sox excel tlw
Giants In several ways. At that the
Sox have not played up to their best
form. I think Hoston will clean up
In New York on Monday or nt any rate
on Tuesday. I am greatly pleased with
the work of the four umpires, which

"It looks very much ns If the Red
Sox will triumph," remarked Chairman
Herrmann. "With such pitching ns
Wood nnd Redlent have done I am
afraid that the Giants cannot come hack
with three straight victories which nre
necessary for them to win tho serlea.
Still baseball Is uncettnln and we Na
tional Leaguers do not Intend to give
up the ship until Hoston haa won
another game."
"The games have been cleanly played
and highly exciting," said Tresldent
Knrrell of the Highlanders. "I am not
making predictions because anything
mny happen before the series ends.
When tho Hed Sox have won another
game It will be time to hall them world's
champions. The Giants have made a
plucky light nnd McOrnw deserve
much praise for tho wny he haa handled
his men. Mnthewsnn's pitching to-day
was masterly considering his long
career on the ball Held. Ho wasn't ills

becnuse Hedlent held tho Now Yorks

Boston, Oct. 12. -Weather condition
until to-day's battle had reached the
recond Ir.nlng were anything but favor
able. It rained hard during the night
and early risers could not see anything
but a postponement. A slight drizzle
was falling at n o'clock, hut Boston
weather sharps predicted that the con
dltlons would not grow worse.
The National Commission determined
to have the gnme played If possible and
sent the umpires to Fenway I'nrk at
10 o'clock to find out the condition of
the Held. They reported that hugn
tarpaulin spread over the home plate,
the pitcher's box nnd a part of the In
field Insured a partially dry diamond,
but they said that the grass In the out
field would remain wet unless the sun
came out.
Ban Johnson. August Herrmann and
Tom Lynch, after consulting with the
ofliclals of the Hoston club and tho
Weather Hureau, notified Managers Mc
Graw and Stahl to have their players nt
the grounds not later than 1 o'clock
The message sent to McGraw and Stahl
' was to the effect thnt the game would
. be played In spite of the fog nnd mist
I unless the rain should fall heavily nt 'I
o dock. The drizzle let up at noon, hut
the heavy fog still hung over the city.
The Boston club opened the box office
at thnt hour and 15,000 rabid fans
poured through the gates leading to the
open bleachers nnd the covered pavilion
along the right field foul line. When
these stnnds were Jammed to the point
of standing room tho fog Was so dense
that It was hardly possible to distin
guish' Individuals from the rear of the
grand stand, but nn hour before the
time fixed for starting the gnme Treas
urer McRoy of the Hoston club snld that
there would be a record attendance,
which also meant the largest gate re
ceipts ever taken In nt n Boston ball
park.
Ah the Giants nnd Red Sox did not
shnro In to-day's receipts they wero
eager to play rather than remain over
Sunday for a game on Monday. In this
connection it was learned thnt the de
Iny In deciding whether to play yester
day's gnmo In New York wVis due to
strenuous objections flled by Manager
McGraw, It wns said on excellent
authority that had It not been for tho
firmness of President Johnson of tho
American League yesterday's gnmo
would have been plnyed nt tho Polo
Grounds to-day.
It appears thnt President Johnson
when he heard that the Giants wanted
tnlncludo n Saturday's game In tho
players' rakeoff sent Umpires O'Lough
Un and Kvans to the Polo Grounds nnd
promptly received a report from them
that tho field was fit to play upon. A

Johnson usually has his own way It did
not take long to bring Messrs. Herr
mann and Lynch around to his way of
thinking.
The money split up hy the players, by
the way, caused more friction to-day.
It was said that the players of both
teams Indirectly requested the commls
slon to give them 00 per cent, of the
big gate money taken In this afternoon
In addition to their share of tho four
games, Including the drawn battle of
Wednesday. In other word?, the players
could not understand why they should
not have money out of five games In
asmuch as the tie officially counted for
nothing.
Just who made this request In behalf
of the Giants and Red Sox could not be
learned, hut the fact remains that th
commission promptly turned the propo
sltlon down. Then the players made
another demand, ns the story goes
They wanted the right to play an exhl
bltlon game after the aeries ended,
either In Cincinnati or Chicago, the net
receipts to be devoted to the newly
orgnnlzed baseball players fraternity.
It was understood that this petition was
made at the Instance of David L. Fulta.
president of the fraternity, and It was
said that (vhlle the commission was not
In a position to make an Immediate re
ply the petition would be denied.
When this rumor got abroad It was
said that the Giants and Red Sox de
clared among themselves that they
would p!ny a game anyway regardless
of the commission, but soon It wa
hinted that If such a game was at
tempted no baseball park controlled by
the organized lengues would be open to
them. Somebody suggested that the
teams could play on the defunct United
States League grounds in Cincinnati,
Chicago or Pittsburg; also thnt there
was an available plant In Washington.
It was Impossible to get from the
players any authentic statement, but
It was learned thnt If there should be
an attempt to flout the commission the
players would tlnd themselves In serious
trouhle. President MeAleer of the Red
Sox said "This talk nbout giving the
players a share In five Instead of four
games Is absurd. The players went
Into this series with their eyes open:
they know the conditions as they are
drawn up. It is clearly stated In the
rules that the two teams share In th
receipts of tho flrat four games, and
that settles It. I should think that the
players would realize that they havo
been most liberally treated and ought
to let well enough alone."
Among the big baseball men ther
is considerable feeling against the
Players Fraternity, and It will not b
surprising If the magnates take some
action In the near future. The Na
tional League will hold a special meet
ing In New York on Thursday, but
whether this matter will be considered
formally It Is Impossible to say Just
now, It Is reported thnt soma of the
most prominent players In both leagues
hnvo notified their employers that they
will resign membership In the fraternity
In order to prove tholr loyalty to or
ganlzed baseball.
